@Nurse85 congratulations! I think it's pretty rare to get false positives, let alone on that many tests and a digital! I wouldn't worry to much about the faint lines, if you still want to see a decent line on a FRER, then maybe wait a couple of days and use FMU.

@dunkedbiscuit I've got two tests in the bathroom that I've been waiting to use since October!!

Thank you all. I've spent all day reading up about FRER! The 2ww is the worst, I've never spent so much money on tests x

@Nurse85 False positives are quite rare, but to get so many across all those different tests? Probability seems pretty astronomical. Seems pretty safe to say you're pregnant! Congratulations! 🥳

Good luck with your tests tomorrow @Cantthinkofaname99 and @dunkedbiscuit! Everything crossed for you both.

Congrats @Nurse85 and good luck to all others waiting to test!

Hi everyone,

I have been following for a while. Lovely to see all your journeys.
TTC no 2 this will be my first cycle. My dS has just turned a year.
Hope it ok for me to join

Welcome @Igglepiggle91

@dunkedbiscuit how are you doing today.

Pretty sure by tomorrow I'll be out had tiny bit of spotting again and my cervix feels low. 😞 on the plus side it will mean my cycle has been more like 25 days rather than 22/23. Just need to wait for my blood results now, whenever that maybe!

Well I give up, no idea what's going on, I was convinced AF would be here when I got up this morning but nothing! 🤷‍♀️

So when can I test when I will get a definite result, I can't cope with all the is it/isn't it a line, I just need an answer. Technically AF is maybe 3 days late and I'm 8dpo. Think I need to go with dpo rather than AF date for tests? Any ideas?

@cantthinkofaname99 in my last pregnancy i didnt get a postive test until 4 days after af was due. Fingers crossed its a great sign. Your hcg levels have to be a certain amount before it will show on a test so maybe its taking a bit longer. I've heard some women not getting bfp until 10 after af due

@Cantthinkofaname99 oh it's all such a head f**k isn't it 😩 I had a BFN on Weds (11 dpo) I'm expecting AF by tomorrow, I'll maybe test again in the morning - it's all about stages of disappointment for me! Felt really low about it all yesterday but trying to pick myself up to get ready to try again next cycle.
Are you going to do another test?

@dunkedbiscuit I've been holding off testing as I know I'm only about 8dpo, plus every evening I'm convinced AF will be here by morning! Although saying that I just did an OPK test as I know some people get positives on them when pregnant and I've got loads and needed to deal with the urge to poas!! That was of course negative! I've got brown spotting now, so once again wondering if I will wake up to AF!! Tempted to test tomorrow morning, if no AF again. Hmmm it's so difficult!

You see I was feeling low about it last night and now I just don't know what to feel, I just wish I knew!

Hi ladies,
Hope you dont mind me joining. Im on my 6th cycle Ttc number 2.
Im 10dpo and got a BFN. A close friend just text to say shes pregnant so feeling a bit shitty.
Ill still test every day until AF shows as I cant help myself.
Wishing you all the best of luck

Hi all and welcome to all the newbies. I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately but nothing really happening to be honest. I’m 8 DPO today so waiting for next week. Had bloods done a couple of weeks ago which apparently came back fine so we’ll see what happens.

Welcome @girlmummy25 wishing you luck.

@Jellybean023 it's the waiting that's the worst! how long did it take for your bloods to come back, had mine done Friday last week, probably waiting for the dr to review them.

So just caved and tested BFN, still getting a bit of brown spotting but not much. CD27 for me today, not had a cycle this long since TTC this time round. I'm not sure whether to take the cycle length as a good thing, or if I'm just having a funny cycle (and it has to be the one where I had my bloods done!) or it's the stress of the Covid vaccination!! I think I just need some answers now!

@Cantthinkofaname99 I hadn’t heard anything after 2 weeks so called the doctor. They’d come back in but hadn’t been reviewed by the doctor yet but I then heard back later that day.

@abbs1work weren’t as accommodating as I’d have imagined but I was lucky that it’s my job, so I knew the guidelines inside out, I knew what to ask to be prescribed and what bloods I needed etc. Plus it’s always interesting walking the journey as a patient yourself. My whole pregnancy and postnatal care made me so passionate to go back and make changes post mat leave 😊

So my period came and I’m devastated. Currently CD6 and feel so sad at the prospect of facing a new cycle.

Welcome @Igglepiggle91 and @girlmummy25. Good luck!

So sorry to hear about the BFNs. Wishing you all the best for your next cycles.

It's very early in my cycle (CD9 or 10), but there's a stabbing feeling in my left side. It's probably just a cyst forming, but still crossing my fingers for ovulation. This is my first cycle since pregnancy. Pre-pregnancy (once they were stabilised by Metformin) they were 32 days, so I've got a bit of waiting to do before the next one. Better than the 6+ months they used to be anyway.

So AF is one day late, I had BFNs on FRERs yesterday and day before, but then today get this faint line.. 👀👀

Oh wow @dunkedbiscuit - congrats!!

I think I’m ruling myself out for May! It’s only my first cycle and having come off the pill end of April I’ve just got no idea what’s going on. I can’t track as I don’t know my cycle length but based on an average cycle I would have ovulated yesterday. I took an OPK, there was a strong line but Premom said it was low. I may just keep taking one each day to see if the line gets stronger but as I don’t know when my fertile window is I think we will just DTD as and when we feel like it. In my head I’ll aim for every 2-3 days and if it happens more then great. I haven’t told my husband as I don’t want him to feel pressured (I know he wants another baby though when I’m ready as we’ve talked about it)

Welcome @girlmummy25. A test may not show positive at 10DPO. You’re not out until AF shows x

@dunkedbiscuit congrats! That’s a definite line xx

@dunkedbiscuit wow congratulations! How many DPO did you get that?

Im 12dpo and still BFN. I think im out this month, Hopefully next cycle!

@dunkedbiscuit yay congratulations! Just goes to show negative tests don't mean your automatically out!

Still no AF for me, just spotting. Based on recent cycles I'm 5 days late but only 10/11 dpo so I'm just in a waiting game!

@girlmummy25 a whopping 15 dpo! I was getting negative tests until today, no idea what was going on there.

@Cantthinkofaname99 I'm remaining hopeful you will be getting a BFP soon too!

Oh wow @dunkedbiscuit! Guess you really aren't out until AF arrives. Congratulations!

It's not looking too good here, this mornings tesr is much fainter than yesterday. Top is yesterday bottom is today, think I know what way this is sadly going 😞
